“Food was delicious and piping hot 🔥 The original skillet cheeseburger was juicy and packed with flavor. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh. The owner was very kind and even came by to check on our group. I'll be back soon!“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“The service and food this evening for the 3 of us was wonderful! We came with no reservations but they found a way for us to dine inside and be finished within 1 hour. The steak scharma was wonderful. The humus and bubba gnonoush and garlic spread were wonderful too. I tried the kibbi nyeah. Was good but almost cream like. Not as meaty as I remember from the last time I had it it a few decades ago. It was spiced very mildly as well. They through in a baklava ice cream dish for our trouble. It was amazingly wonderful! Definitely coming back!“

“Pretty good, but kind of overrated.“

“The food is great but the customer service sucks! Please train your employees properly. Don’t hire anti-social people!“

“Love the food. Especially the lamb skewers, and the big plate chicken! Everything was delicious! The lamb eas tender and succulent. The chicken seasoned beautifully. However the Dessert is mid. The honey cake isnt like ones I've had at other uyghur spots. Its not thin layers. Its a bit dry.“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“We had the Turkish breakfast at Canan’s Kitchen and everything was delicious. The spread was fresh and generous, with fluffy warm bread, creamy cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, jams and honey, and perfectly cooked eggs. The flavors tasted just like a traditional breakfast back home, and the Turkish tea was the perfect finish.“

“Very good food. Good service. Kind employees. They have events from the local mosque advertised here. I got the extra hot chicken sandwich and a five pack of wings. The wings were a bit messy. The sandwich had the right amount of heat. Small shop and very good“

“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.“

“Bayshore Lounge is hands down one of my favorite restaurants! The location is fantastic, and the overall vibe and atmosphere are absolutely amazing. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food. They have the best kebabs I’ve ever had, hands down. Everything is packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The pita bread and hummus are equally incredible and some of the best I’ve tasted.“

“Why did I give so many stars you may ask? Well let's put it this way, are you looking for a place to snuggle with your family or simply hang out a bit with friends for some warm pizza or a freshly made cheeseburger? Look no further WOW! AMAZING homemade style food! If your looking for a warmth service you got it! If your looking for freshness you got it! If your looking for a nice smiley service, you got it! You won't regret it. I had a cheeseburger with a smile served and their famous sugar cane water. Superb. I also had a Chai tea. Delicately Hot and I warmed my hands up as I sipped away and day dreamed. Try this place out, its very peaceful here. You will not regret it a bit. Money well spent here.
P.S. NO RESTROOMS. NEXT DOOR NOORANI THERE IS A RESTROOM.“

“I’m a regular here and don’t usually review places, but the team members in front are always very kind, especially Austin. He always offers a water cup whenever I have to wait a while for my pickup order and is great at customer service. Food is great and tastes even better when he’s up front.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“Excellent donar, burek and baklava. Of course the coffee is great too.“

“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!“

“They're lentil soup is absolutely delightful. You can't beat their lunch specials, and if your not getting some of their baklava before you leave your outta your damn mind. So good... so authentic. My BF is Turkish and we come here when he needs a little slice of home.“

“I love“

“Excellent service and food“

As for this Canadian traveller from Vancouver BC, what’s a west coast party without K-BBQ?!
It’s definitely delicious here. The ingredients are fresh. The service is good. Prices are higher for the Canadian tourists because of the conversion rate. But the hospitality is cozy here. The experience is good. Highly recommended 👌.“

“I came to Dave’s Hot Chicken and had such a great experience! Giselle is honestly one of the best cashier I’ve ever had. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of.
And the chicken here is SO tender and juicy! I’ve been to other Dave’s Hot Chicken locations, but this one is definitely better. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this location and a huge shoutout to Giselle for the amazing service! ❤“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“Was a Hot date night tonight 😜 So thought we would try Masala Indian and wow… next level 🔥 Tried a number of curries and every single one was spot on 👌 The garlic naan 🤤 unreal… and the mango lassi… don’t even get me started 😍 So good having a quality Indian spot just around the corner from home when we’re in town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all day We’ll definitely be back 💯 The Teeth Man Team“

“Best fried chicken ever! Combination of spices and coleslaw makes your mouth water!“

“This is the best grilled fish I ate since I came to California in 2000 it's even better than San Pedro fish markets. Fresh fish everyday. Super nice customer service and kind staff. Clean place. I recommend it to all fish lovers.“

“I Can Barbecue was a great experience for us. I went with my family for the first time and we truly enjoyed it. The food is halal, flavorful, and well prepared. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. We had a lovely time as a family and will definitely be coming back again.“

“I first ate at The Halal Guys on the street in Manhattan and immediately counted it as one of my go to places to eat. The red sauce adds the right kick to the combo platter, which is almost a two-meal entree. Great portions, great flavors, and worth the fair price.“

“Great dinner, our server was excellent! Loved the guitarist.“

“Went today with lovey for lunch... OMG you can taste the quality. Lovey had a pattymelt with zucchini I had a sourdough burger with cheddar jalapeno poppers. Nothing was greasy staff was so pleasant would recomend over any chain place yes even in and wait. Can't wait for our next visit Cheers“

“Quality meat that’s not frozen. Good ventilation. Prompt service.“

“It’s bad the lady is so rude, she don’t know how to handle the customers“

“Excellent Indian food“

“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.“
